Continuing on from the success of the acclaimed CTM 300 Head, Ashdown is proud to announce two new lower powered additions to the range for 2013

Perfect for smaller gigs, the CTM 100 pairs the CTM 300 preamp with an all tube, 100 watt power section

For home/studio use, the CTM 15 offers 15 watts of stunning tube tone in an unbelievably compact head

A reliable replacement for old technology, the CTM range delivers both huge amounts of tube tone and power

The Classic Tube Magnifier 100: Output power: 100 watts RMS into 2 , 4 , and 8 ohm cabinet outputs through speakon jacks, one for each ohmage, no selector to go wrong

Design frequency response: 30hz to 18khz at half rated power

Simplistic preamp with tube driven and recovered FX loop, dual gain stage with gain control, bass, middle and treble rotary controls

There are also handy, easy to flick switches to further shape your sound in the form of a "Mellow" tone switch, "Bass shift" tone switch for deep/ clean bass, "Mid shift" which moves the frequency of the mid control for further shaping, and last but not least there is a "Bright switch" for enhanced definition at lower volume settings

All tone controls are pure passive and interactive

Tube driven DI out which is transformer derived with isolated ground means the stunning all tube tone can be easily sent through to the PA on larger gigs

User settable bias for each individual power tube with calibrated, dual function VU meter on the front panel when in bias mode

The VU meter is also used to monitor output when in audio mode

Each output tube is individually fused and user replaceable, without removing the unit from its case (meter also indicates tube or fuse failure).
